Facebook Inc. (FB) Graph Search Raises Privacy Concerns

Page 2 of 2

While Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) says that users can control how much of their data can be visible to other users, there is a cybersecurity expert who thinks Facebook needs to do more to inform users how it will change the relationship between Facebook and its users.

“Some people do not grasp the importance of Graph Search,” said Bogdon Botezatu, an e-threat analyst for Bitdefender. “So maybe it would be better for Facebook to actually inform people that some things will change. The way they use to interact with Facebook has changed and this could have consequences they haven’t thought about yet.”

What do you think? Will Graph Search be the next boon for Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) advertising hopes, or will it be a security and privacy boondoggle for the social network? We’d like to get your thoughts in the comments section below.
